JoAnna HoytAs a child, I loved the Choose Your Own Adventure book series. These books allowed me to shape the story to my desires. No other book allowed that. If I did not like an outcome, I simply “rewound” my decision and chose another. The book provided the...

Joel ArnoldWhen I first became a father, I desperately wanted to succeed at family devotions. I gave it all of the creative energy I could muster. The battle of Jericho became a rambunctious march around a toy city. For the story of Samson, I tested my skills...
No marriage exists in isolation. Our social context strongly influences how couples approach communication in general, and conflict in particular. If the social surroundings in which a couple find themselves promote virtues like compassion...
